SALMOND. Robert, and his bro.. Peter, were born in a small town in Scotland, lying between Edinburgh and Glasgow, within 8 miles, it is said, of the tree in which William Wallace hid, as is related in the Scottish Chiefs. Robert was born in 1749, and Peter in 1745. Previous to the opening of the Am. Rev'n, they came to this country, on a visit, and staid in Bridg'r., Mass., one year, from 1774 to 1715. Starting from thence to return to their native land, by the way of Halifax, N. S., they were there impressed into the British army, under Burgoyne; and when that officer was defeated, they left the ranks, and returned to Mr. Russell, their fellow countryman, at Bridg'r., with whom they had been tarrying. Soon they entered the employ of the Hon. Hugh Orr, also a native of Scotland; --Who was a manufacturer of cannon, and other arena,--and with him they remained for four years, receiving, as their compensation, but $8 per month, and their board,—a sum which would now be considered small by most of our mechanics. From thence, both came to Hanover, and engaged in trade, in the humble capacity of pedlers. Peter, after remaining two years, moved to Pemb., and settled near the Rev. Morrill Allen's. He m. Eunice, da., Capt. Jonathan Bass, of E. Bridg'r., and widow of Seth Whitman, in 1785, and d. in Pemb., in Oct. 1828, ae. 83, leaving ch., of whom his son Peter, is still living in Pemb., on his father's place. Robert, the other brother, remained in H., and was, for about thirty years, engaged in the iron business at Sylvester's Forge,—28 years of the time with Nath'l., Cushing,in manufacturing Anchors, and carrying on this business on an extensive scale. He lived first in the Ba1dwin Horse, so called, on Hanover St., and afterwards on Broad-way, in what is now known as the " Salmond House." Both the brothers, were men of high moral worth, and one who knew them well, has said, that "if all were like them, we should need no penal lawa."Both left behind a good name for their children,—a legacy far more valuable than gold or silver. The desc'ts of Robert, we give below. 2. Robert Salmond, of Scotland, b. 1749, m. Mary, da. of Rev. Samuel Baldwin, of H., November 1, 1787, and d. in H., May 5, 1829, ae. 80, and his wid. September 5, 1847, ae. 79. ch.:
3. Samuel, s. Robert (2) m. Eliza, da. Hon. Albert Smith, of H., July 26, 1826, and lives on Wash'on. st., near the Four Corners. His life, like that of his father and uncle, has been eventful and instructive. At the age of 18, with his bro. Robert, he sett. in Bangor, Me., where, for 10 years, he was engaged in trade. In 1818, he left B., and journeyed to the South, tarrying there 4 years, until the death of his bro. Robert; and thence he went to Cuba, on which beautiful island he passed 7 winters. During a portion of this time, he was in the employ of the U. S. Gov't. In 1838, he sett. permanently in Hanover, and engaged in the Tack business, at the works previously occupied by his brothers, and at the spot where anciently stood the Stockbridge mill, Mr. S. is a man of modest and retiring manners, of unblemished integrity, never weary in well doing, and is respected most by those who know him best, and can best appreciate the excellencies of his character. ch:
SAMPSON. Otis, s. Stephen, of Pemb., b. Sep. 1805, m. Sarah, da. Anthony Sylvester, lives on Broadway, and is a carpenter. ch.:
2. Charles, s. Chas., of Dux'y., m. Tamar J., da. Jno. Puffery Dec. 9, 1847, lives on Centre st., is a shoemaker by trade, and has no ch. Note-This name, on old records, is generally spelled Samson; and Henry, the ancestor of most of the Sampsons of Plymouth Co., arrived at Dux'y., in 1620, according to Winsor. SIMMONS. Moses, former1y written "Moyses Symonson," came to Plymonth in the Fortune, in 1621 and is usually reckoned as one of the Pilgrims, being among the early settlers of Plym'h. Winslow speaks of him as "a child of one that was in communion with the Dutch Church at Leyden," and as being "admitted into Church fellowship at Plym'h., m. N. Eng'd., and his children also to Baptism as well as our own." In the division of lands made in 1623, he, with Philip De la Noye, (now Delano,) received each one acre, "beyond the first brooks, to the wood westward;" and in 1628, Mar. 26, he, and Edward Bompass, sold each one acre of ground to Robert Hicks, "lying on the North side of the town," being probably the acre granted to him in 1623. In the division of cattle, made May 22, 1627, the first lot, consisting of the "four black heifers that came in the Jacob, and two she goats," fell to Francis Cooke, and his company, among whom was "Moses Simonson." He was in Dnx'y., before 1687, and in that year, was one of a Jury of 12 " to set forth heigh wages about Plymonth, Ducksburrow, and the Eele River." In 1638-9, he received a grant of 40 acres of land in D. He is in the list of those able “to bear arms," in 1643; and in the list of freemen in D., in 1646. At about this period, he became one of the 54 original proprietors of Bridg'r., but soon after sold his share to Nicholas Byram. Under date of Mar. 7, 1652 he is spoken of, on the Col. Rec., as having one of the 34 shares, "of a tract extending 3 miles E. of the E. part of the river or bay called Acusshena, and soe alonge the sea side to the river called Coaksett, lying on the W. side of point prill (peril (?) &c., and extending 8 miles into the woods," said tract being land purchased of the Indians. He was a surveyor in Dux’y., in 1657; and in 1665, a footway was laid out through his land, and that of Sam’l. Chandler. In 1662, he was one of the proprietors of Midd'o., his lot being the 18th, and being “bounded with a red Oak and a Walnut tree marked." The name of his wife, we have not learned, nor the dates of birth of his children. We should infer, from Winslow's account, that some of them, at least, were born before he came to Am'a. Of his sons, we find recorded the names of Moses and Thomas. The family is prob. of English origin, and may be connected with the Symond, or Simonds, of Devonshire, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucester, Norfolk, Hertford, &c. We find this family name sometimes spelled Symons, and Simmons, and the family itself, is numerous and respectable, and of quite ancient date. 2. Moses, s. Moses, sen'r., was of Dnx'y., where he d. in 1689, (Winsor.) By w. Sarah, he had;
3. Thos., s. Moses, sen’r., was a householder in Scit. bef. 1647, and his house was on the Green field, between that of Sam‘l. Nash, and Jno. Turner, jr.

Mr. S. is chosen as the delegate from Pemb., to the Conv'n., for revising the Const'n., which is to meet in Bos'n., in May, 1853. STETSON Cornet Robert, the ancestor of the Stetsons of the U. S., and a noted and valuable man in his day, prob. came from Yorkshire, Eng'd., from which county many of the first settlers of Scit. originated, and where, according to Rev. R. Breare, the name is still extant, being found in Richmond and other towns. Having already published a sketch of this family, entitled "Records of the Stetson Family," we do not deem it necessary to pursue its history at large here, and shall therefore confine this notice chiefly to those that settled in Hanover. We need only remark, that the Cornet had five sons, who left male issue, viz.: Joseph, Benjamin, Thomas, Samuel and Robert. The descendants of the first of these-Joseph-settled principally in Scituate. A few resided in H., and these we shall give. More of the descendants of Benjamin and Samuel, and a few of those of Thomas, became residents of H.; but none of those of Robert. From the latter, however, descended Nahum Stetson, Esq, of whom we have spoken on p. 229. 2. Robert, s. Robert, and a desc't. of Cornet Robert through his eldest son Joseph, was b. Sep. 3, 1710, m.

Xoa, b. in May, 1779, is yet living in H.; also his son, Joseph, b. Aug. 27, 1787, who m. wid.
